Address
Località Faraglioni - Capri

In the shadow of the Faraglioni, within steps of the crystal clear water lapping Capri's legendary sea stacks, there's a truly magical place: Fontelina.

One of the most beautiful beach clubs in the whole of Italy, Fontelina has been run with the same passion and enthusiasm for more than 50 years, by the Arcucci and Gargiulo families.

Book a day by the sea at Fontelina and you can expect to spend hours of blissful relaxation, bathing in the sun on one of the beach club's white linen mattresses, on the rocks, within millimeters of the sea!

To make your day at the foot of the Faraglioni even more unforgettable, you can lunch at Fontelina's highly acclaimed restaurant, savoring delicious local specialties prepared with the island's abundant fish and seafood.

The restaurant is one of the most popular on Capri and, especially if you're coming in the height of summer, you'll want to book your table as soon as you arrive on the island.

La vista vale la visita. Menu molto curato e cibo decisamente delizioso. Place to be and to be seen. Il servizio potrebbe essere più attento, ma tutto sommato una tappa è consigliata, soprattutto a pranzo.

Come da titolo. Frequento da anni il ristorante. Sempre è stato TOP il servizio e chiaramente la location ha uno charme quasi unico. Devo dire che quest’anno , a parte gli aumenti dovuti credo al ritorno al completo dei clienti stranieri, ho notato meno cura su antipasti e dolci nonché porzioni più “asciutte” rispetto al passato. Rimane sempre una delle 3 migliori location del genere sull’isola ma quest’anno sono uscito un poco deluso soprattutto al palato.

Boa comida, atendimento satisfatório. Nada exepcional pelo valor cobrado, mas aceitável pela localização. Comi em melhores restauranres pelo mesmo valor.
